Solar Benefits Colorado
Been thinking about installing a solar energy system but
don’t know where to start or what technology is best for
you?
Solar Benefits Colorado is here to help!
Solar Benefits Colorado is a limited time employee solar
discount program offered by ICLEI – Local Governments for
Sustainability USA. The City and County of Denver, State of
Colorado and Colorado Federal Executive Board (all Federal
employees in Colorado) and select contractors are taking
part in this innovative program which helps employees pool
their buying power for significant discounts on solar energy
systems.
Solar Benefits Colorado simplifies the process of choosing
the right solar provider by doing the research for you. The
program also offers a range of financing options that make
installing solar on your home more affordable than ever.
After careful consideration, REC Solar (solar electric) and
Heliodyne (solar hot water/thermal) have been selected by
the employee evaluation committee.
REC is offering discounted pricing ($3.90/watt) in all
program areas and a lease option (select location only).
For a limited time employees can sign up for a free, no
obligation home site evaluation and quote.
